I think the point is that we are supposed to have an allegiance to the ideals of the constitution. Not to the country. This country changes hands and political ideals constantly. If I had children (and I don't) I wouldn't want my government forcing my children to swear an allegience to the government (which is what this is) or an allegience to a specific religion (which it is ALSO). Voluntary is fine. That's part of what freedom is. I think we so easily forget that the government is supposed to be loyal to US first. Otherwise, they don't get my loyalty.
